Abstract
In this study, 80 male and female sickle cell patients, aged 4–50 years, with mild (severity index, SI <6) and severe (SI ≥6) forms of the disease were investigated). The levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating bormone (FSH), testosterone, cortisol, growth hormone (GH), free thyroxme (T4), and free triiodothyronine (T3) were determined. The results were evaluated and the mean ±2 SD values were compared with those obtained in age- and sex-matched normal controls.
